Belle ripped into Paulina for having Johnny arrested right away instead of having him brought in for questioning. Paulina said they couldn’t dance around the situation or it would look like they were giving him special treatment from his family. Belle realized Paulina’s was right but wished they could have let everyone know what was going on first. Paulina said she wasn’t sure Johnny was innocent because she remembered Johnny’s reaction to EJ being shot. Belle said she believed him. She got a text saying it was done and that Jada was bringing Johnny in. Paulina told Belle that she had to let justice take its course without interference. She took Belle off the case. Belle said she understood. Paulina didn’t want Belle to interfere in the case. Jada and the police brought Johnny into the police station. Belle apologized for what happened.

Chanel asked Paulina to do something but was furious when Paulina said she gave the order to have Johnny arrested. Chanel left the police station. Rafe and Jada argued over Johnny’s arrest. When Rafe left, Paulina showed up. She asked Jada if she thought Johnny was innocent. Jada said he had the means, motive, and opportunity. At the town square, EJ asked Belle about betraying him. Belle said she didn’t know Paulina was going to have Johnny arrested. EJ said she was going to get back on the case and have the charges dropped. He said he would make it happen.

When Belle left, EJ got on the phone and called to speak to the judge. Marlena went to the pub. Roman knew she was worried about Johnny. He said Carrie told him Johnny’s best bet was to turn himself in. Marlena hesitated about Johnny turning himself in, but Roman said it would be better than having the police find out. While they were talking, Belle sent Marlena a text telling her that Johnny was arrested. Marlena wanted to go to Johnny, but Roman said he was still being processed. He said they could go after Johnny was processed. Roman said he was worried that the police had evidence against Johnny. Marlena reminded him that he had the gun that may have been used to shoot EJ.
